Go to your local library, look for the religions section. There should be commentaries on each book of the Bible. These would be split into sections for each chapter. Also, a high quality study bible would include a brief summary before each section. I recommend the Scofield Reference Edition of the Oxford Study Bible. You should be able to find a supplier on the web.

The version is unimportant - there is very little difference in the different versions, and likely nothing that would show up in an outline. Here: http://www.aibi.org/dbbo/joshua.pdf or, if you don't like this one, do a search for "bible book outlines".
I hope this helps.

Does it have to be NIV? I thought you may be interested in knowing what the original Hebrew writings stated? Sorry I can not help with the NIV.

USING THE BOOK OF JOSHUA IN YOUR LIFE? Well, in general I always try to associate all scripture to myself personally. For instance In Chapter 1, verse 7. I would say it this way " I, Joan, Will be of Good courage as the lord Commands when things are not going my way. I will strive to keep the commands of the Lord as Jesus and the apostles directed, striving to be a disciple and an example to others. If I do these things and not compromise my principles, the Lord will prosper me"
Of course I try to take the characters of the Bible as my examples, but I always try to find key passages that I can relate to myself, so that the Word of God speaks to me. I find that if I combine prayer with this that the Holy Spirit leads me to specific passages that enlighten and bless me each day in my study.
